The Monkey Banana Turbo Studio Monitor Speakers are not only stylish in appearance, but they also contain serious engineering to achieve the absolute-best acoustic performance. The Bass-reflex acoustic design of Monkey Banana Turbo Studio Monitor Speakers combines maximum efficiency and optimal bass extension while the medium-density fiberboard construction ensures proper damping of vibrations from the drivers. All of this is done behind a sophisticated industrial design that incorporates modern & minimalist fashion elements. In order to achieve this perfect combination of audio fidelity and appearance, the Monkey Banana Turbo Studio Monitor Speakers enclosures were designed as a non-regular hexagon instead of the typical rectangle shape of the boring & bland studio monitors you’re used to seeing. After careful calculation and experiment Monkey Banana found that the non-regular hexagonal structure is most effective in minimizing standing waves inside the enclosure. Standing waves create audible distortion that can compromise the overall audio fidelity of the speaker. Monkey Banana chose high-density fiberboard (MDF) for the enclosure to not only damp out unwanted resonances, but to ensure a solid and inert structure to mount the drivers to. All internal surfaces are lined with blended wool to further dampen the structure of the speaker cabinet.
